Humble Freedom Bundle serves up over $600 worth of games for $30

The latest offer from Humble Bundle is quite a doozy, offering 47 games worth more than $600 combined for as little as $30. 100% of the proceeds will go towards supporting the American Civil Liberties Union, Doctors Without Borders, and International Rescue Committee, with Humble Bundle matching proceeds up to $300,000.

In case the message of the bundle wasn't clear, Humble Bundle writes:

We humbly remember that the United States is a nation of immigrants, and we proudly stand with developers, authors, and charities that champion liberty and justice for all.

We chose these three organizations because of the inspiring work they do in providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and displaced people as well as in defense of justice, human rights, and civil rights.

As if the promise of that many games on the cheap wasn't enough, there are some real gems included in this bundle. If you pay $30 or more, you'll pick up titles like Stardew Valley, The Witness, Invisible Inc., and Guacamelee. That's just a sampling, but there are plenty of other games that make this bundle worth jumping on.

In any case, if you're up for grabbing a load of games on the cheap while doing some good in the process, you can pick up this deal at Humble Bundle now.

That's the part that confuses me. All of these are pretty good picks. And if one really has a problem with, say, civil rights, then just give to Doctors Without Borders, which does great work in a politics free fashion.

I never drop into these political leaning debates on WPC because it's typically fruitless. With that said, I say no, we can't and shouldn't leave games alone. Asking for your choice of entertainment to be "left alone" reeks of privilege. HB also isn't preaching at you, they're simply stating their mission in offering this collection of games. I'm happy as hell that more entertainment outlets are letting their values be known. Hell, if the Big Buck Hunter game devs want 100% of their profits to go to the NRA because they feel strongly about gun rights, go for it!

I didn't even read that part... Reading the quotes from each organization on the humble bundle shows this is all about the current political struggle and back and forth with regards to the 90 day executive order...

"I want to say more about this third issue, because it generates the most passion and controversy. Even as we are a nation of immigrants, we’re also a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable -– especially those who may be dangerous. That’s why, over the past six years, deportations of criminals are up 80 percent. And that’s why we’re going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom who’s working hard to provide for her kids. We’ll prioritize, just like law enforcement does every day."
